Here's a little more information on what had happened with my world. So, I had cured two villagers after 1.18 had dropped. This had been a recurring issue for me, so I had figured I would wait until after 1.18 had dropped with the bugfix to create another village, and lay down several more minecarts. On the day of 1.18, after curing two villagers and breeding them twice, along with laying down 4 minecarts for a series of super smelters, I had logged out to back up my world. That is what the export I gave you is for.
If it would be helpful, I have a backup (without any villagers or other entities) from the night before 1.18. Furthermore, I know item frames are considered entities, however I have several dozen of them around my base, and I have never once had them disappear. The only entities this occurs with are animals, villagers, and minecarts. I have a bee colony near where I was keeping the villagers, they however have not despawned. Despite logging in/out around the bee colony multiple times, they have yet to disappear.
Thank you!

The village I built is roughly at the coordinates: 2807, 68, -11284. This is where it's occurred for me every time, pre and post update.
Thank you!
@Auldrick Thank you, I suppose further information on the matter would be that it seems to have been a result solely of logging off. In fact, in the thumbnail of the backup, you can actually see the villagers in it from just before I logged off. The backup had been made immediately after logging off. Is there any other information that would be useful?
I had updated my world to 1.18 this morning. As of doing that, none of the entities I have had issue with had existed yet. After updating, I then cured two villagers, bred them twice, and crafted 4 minecarts to use on a super smelter. I logged off, and exported the world as a backup. I had logged off inside of my village, and as a result you can even see the villagers in the thumbnail for my backed up world. I log back in however several hours later, and the villagers + the minecarts have disappeared.
This is all on bedrock on windows 10. I am playing 100% vanilla, and I have done nothing to force close the game, cause a corruption, or otherwise affect the integrity of my world.
This is still happening to me post 1.18 official release.
Is there any place I can send the backup of my world for potential diagnosis?
I have a mechanical HDD, 20 chunk render distance, 10 chunk simulation distance, and I am using a Ryzen 7 2700 (3.4GHZ).
Anything I can change here to help mitigate it?
